  • I know there is currently a massive PR campaign for a power grab to consolidate control over AI software. They want to control the means of generation. Only MozillAI can save us from King GhAIdorah!

    Sorry I'm upsetting you. I know we're entering an acceleration of technology at a time where our institutions globally are in an absolutely horrendous state. People on all sides are brainwashed as hell. The AI watchdogs are insane as well. What's left but gallows humor? I do hold out some hope though.

  • French Republican calendar time system used in France from 1794 to 1800, during the French Revolution, which divided the day into 10 decimal hours, each decimal hour into 100 decimal minutes and each decimal minute into 100 decimal seconds (100000 decimal seconds per day)

  • No, this was started with FOX news bashing her jet usage, and the joke was that FOX would have to explain why CO2 was bad. Then the insane conspiracy theory that 20% of USArs now believe. Then she used legal action against someone tracking her jet (possibly because of death threads).

    But the fox news propaganda worked! Now even liberals are focusing their hatred on her. I have to give it to fox news, very well done. That's the way you topple a female icon like taylor swift, you attack her purity. The money for crafting this PR strategy was well spend. I'd love to know the person who came up with the idea and thank him for basically solving climate change!

  • My view is that for most people who still use bad passwords it will be a huge upgrade. So even though I use super strong passwords, every service and bank has extra security features because they must cater to simple passwords. So you have to check your email for a stupid code and shit. Or worse, give them your phone number!! Which is an outrage because it's linked to my government id!!!

    Passkeys raise the lowest security ceiling, meaning there should be less checks needed. That's what I'm excited about lol.

  • I recently switched to KeePassXC and it looks nicer and is easier to use. The also include some addon functionality into the app so you don't need to trust that. The only downside is that it doesn't automatically fills the browser text fields, you have to click on a green icon in the text field - but that is more secure. They also have an android app.

  • I sometimes think about this. Imagine you were an "immortal" being or mind in a powerful starship that could interfere with Earth. Like you could prevent the plague killing millions, but if you do we humans might not learn sanitation - or they need to learn later. Or do you prevent climate change because you know it will kill us all - but then humanity won't learn and "evolve". So when humanity does finally become interstellar and spreads over the galaxy, terraforming every planet and harvesting every resources, bulldozing everything and endlessly and exponentially grow - is it your fault?

    As soon as you interfere you take on responsibility and guilt for every genocide or ecocide this civilization is going to commit in the future.

    Outside completely cosmological threats it becomes quite iffy. Even something like a planet killer meteor could be argued that if the species knew it could happen but didn't put effort into preventing it, then that means they don't value survival of intelligent civilizations enough. They don't value theirs, why would they value other civilizations they encounter?

    In reality Star Trek colonizing all these planets would eliminate future intelligent civilizations too. Imagine some star trek people would have stepped on Earth a hundred million years ago and found no signs of intelligent live, terraformed it. Or even just introducing countless microorganisms on your shoe. You wouldn't be able to read this silly comment :D It would be a kind of temporally displaced genocide. Of course NASA is already thinking about this and no colonization would make for rather boring drama, but a modern "hard sci-fi" would have to have artificial space habitats (orbitals / halos) as the main living spaces and leave any potentially live giving planets alone.

    Then another argument would be about diversity. For an immortal being, planets could be seen as bio computers creating incredibly complexity and irreplaceable wealth of information. A new way to exist or how not to exist. As soon as you interfere you taint that and have removed some of distinctiveness of their culture with your own culture.
